How to load aliases to Dimension

Hi,
I have a Dimension Hierarchy like this,
Account_Dim     (Dimension)
         -------> product1 (Member)
         -------> Product2 (Member)
I am able to load aliases for members(product1 & product2) through HspOutlineLoad.sh with csv file. But don not know how to do the same for Dimension Name (Account_Dim).
HspOutlineLoad with " /D " switch seems to be loading only member properties. Please help how to load aliases to Dimension name through HspOutlineLoad. Sample format of csv/or whatever would be of great help.
Thanks
Mamatha

You'll have to create 3 alias tables to hold 3 aliases. You cannot have 3 aliases for a dimension with 1 alias table.
After adding you can then load (your header will look like something similar)
Account,Parent,Alias: Default,Alias: French,Alias: German,Alias: Italian,Data Storage,Source Plan Type,Plan Type (Plan1),Aggregation (Plan1),Plan Type (Plan2),Aggregation (Plan2),Plan Type (Plan3),Aggregation (Plan3),Plan Type (Wrkforce),Aggregation (Wrkforce),Plan Type (Capex),Aggregation (Capex)

How to load data to dimensions and fact table is it simialr to sql server

How to load data to dimensions and fact table in a data ware house environment, is it simialr to sql server, oracle?
Never migrated or loaded data to datawarehouse server.
I have an interview and am really confused if they ask anything related to the dataware house side elements.
Coudl you please if you don't mind provide me some steps and dimension and fact table info, an example only.
Atleast for my knowledge.
Thank you very much for the helpful info.

Some discussions in previous forums should help you

In the SAP tutorial, you can see a sample example of making fact tables.

Loading a degenerate dimension

Hi,
I have source data which is used to load both a SCD2 dimension and fact table. Since, the dimension is derived from the fact data and is not a measure we can call it as a degenerate dimension.
Ex:
Source Row -- A,B,C,D,E
Fact data - A,B,C
Degenerate dimension data - D,E
I have to load the SCD2 degenerate dimension with D,E and maintain the dimension surrogate in Fact table.
So,
Degenerate dimension - 111,D,E
Fact - 201 ,A,B,C,111
111 is the dimension surrogate
201 is the fact sequence no.
How do i identify A,B,C,D,E belong to a single row in the source data , so that i can maintain the dimension surrogate key with Fact records.
Is there a way OWB 10g R2 can handle this, or we have to join the dimension row with the source row based on D,E and get 111,A,B,C as output.
Any suggestion or document on how to load a degenerate dimension and fact would be highly appreciated ?
Thanks and Regards,
Chakri

Hi Chakri
Which version are you using? With pre 11gR2 you will probably have to load the cube using the (fact) table operator rather than the cube operator.

Loading Planning attribute dimension alternate hierarchies with ODI

Does anyone know how to load an attribute dimension alternate hierarchy via an ODI interface? I'm assuming that alternate hierarchies are allowed in attribute dimensions?
Edited by: jayfin on Mar 28, 2011 5:59 PM

If you are talking about created a shared hieararchy then no this is not possible as you shouldn't be able to do it in planning.
If it is just another hierarchy in your attribute dimension then you should be able to load parent/child members to build it using ODI.
Cheers

How can i add the dimensions and data loading into planning apllications?

Now please let me know how can i add the dimensions and data loading into planning apllication without manuallly?

you can use tools like ODI or DIM or HAL to load metadata & data into planning applications.
The data load can be done at the Essbase end using rules file. But metadata changes should flow from planning to essbase through any of above mentioned tools and also there are many other way to achieve the same.

How to load composite business key into Dimension

Hi,
Maybe what I'm asking is very basic but, well, here I go:
I have a dimension, CollectingAgent, and several tables to populate from:
Bank (bank_code, bank_name ) [PK: bank_code]
Agency (bank_code, agency_code, agency_name, address, etc) [PK: bank_code, agency_code]
Now, for my purposes, collecting agent is the bank+agency descriptions concatenated. I don't know hoy to load, or map, the combinated key (bank_code, agency_code) into the business field of the dimension. OWB won't let me define more than one attribute as business key.
I'm using OWB 10g Rel2.
Thanks in advance for your help,
--oswaldo.

Ok, let me try to give an example made up with completely bogus information. I'm going to make a dimension called clothing that has two hierarchies that look like this:
"Item" hierarchy:
All Clothing --> Item Type --> Color / Item
"Color" hierarchy:
All Clothing --> Color --> Color / Item
Item type would be values such as pants, shirts, dresses, etc. The low level "color / item" is just a combination of those two (i.e. "Blue Shirt") - and note in this example that it will have 2 composite natural keys. It will roll up over the item type hierarchy under shirts, and under the color hierarchy in blue. Here's a sample of what I'm talking about:
(Item hier)
All Products
...Pants
......Blue Pants
......Red Pants
......Green Pants
...Shirts
......Blue Shirts
......Red Shirts
etc.
(Color Hier)
All Products
...Blue
......Blue Pants
......Blue Shirts
...Red
......Red Pants
......Red Shirts
like I said, completely bogus, but this will let me illustrate how to set up the dimension. I'd create the following attributes (hard to format, sorry):
Key....................Surrogate Key
ID.......................Natural Key
Item_Type_ID......Natural Key
Color_ID..............Natural Key
Short_Desc.........short description
Long_Desc..........long description
Having created these attributes, I'd then create the following levels and assign the attributes as follows:
All_Products_Level:
...Key
...ID
...Short_Desc
...Long_Desc
Item_Type_Level:
...Key
...Item_Type_ID
...Short_Desc
...Long_Desc
Color_Level:
...Key
...Color_ID
...Short_Desc
...Long_Desc
Color_Item_Level:
...Key
...Color_ID
...Item_Type_ID
...Short_Desc
...Long_Desc
Should be pretty easy from there. The whole trick is to have a SERIES of different natural keys - a "generic" one (ID) for dimension levels you don't really care about, and "named" ones (color_id, item_type_id) you can use for given levels. And note that you CAN have more than one natural key at any level, and you can have some natural keys that are not used at all levels.
For your simple dimension, you can probably do the following (note that I'm assuming the lowest level has your composite two business keys, while the top level is completely separate):
TOP_LEVEL:
...Key (for the surrogate key)
...ID (for the business natural key)
...Short_Desc
...Long_Desc
BOTTOM_LEVEL:
...Key (for the surrogate key)
...Business_natural_key_1 (rename to be match your first business key)
...Business_natural_key_2 (rename to match your second business key)
...Short_Desc
...Long_Desc
Hope this helps! If you need to see something a little more concrete, feel free to email me at SPowell at columbus.rr.com, send me some details on exactly what your keys are, etc. and I'll whip up a quick example for you.

How to load time dimension informatica...

Hi, im new to datawarehouse... Can anybody tell me,how to load time dimension informatica...
Thanks and Regards,
jagadish.

Do you mean Informatica, the ETL tool? If you do then I would post your question on the Informatica website as we typically use Oracle Warehouse Builder and Analytic Workspace Manager here at Oracle.
If you want to know hoe to generate a time dimension table, then I would recommend using the Time Dimension Wizard in Warehouse Builder as this will automatically create the target dimension table and populate all the required levels with the correct data values. There is more information on the OWB OTN Home Page

AWM Newbie Question: How to filter data loaded into cubes/dimensions?

Hi,
I am trying to filter the amount of data loaded into my dimensions in AWM (e.g., I only want to load like 1-2 years worth of data for development purposes). I can't seem to find a place in AWM where you can specify a WHERE clause...is there something else I must do to filter data?
Thanks

Hi there,
Which release of Oracle OLAP are you using? 10g? 11g?
You can use database views to filter your dimension and cube data and then map these in AWM

How to load BeginningBalance and movements into HFM via FDM from ERPI

I have a file generated by ERPI with the columns of |AMOUNT|BEGIN_BALANCE_DR|BEGIN_BALANCE_CR|PERIOD_NET_DR|PERIOD_NET_CR|
among many other columns.
How can load them via FDM into the Custom1 dimension in HFM, which contains BeginningBalance, Additions, Disposals, etc.
So basically I will have a trial balance, which I can compare with GL and OBI.

Hello
You can use the IDOC SOPGEN01 for that purpose.

Load Parent-Child dimension with attributes by rule file

Well, I've cracked my head open while banging against this wall.
Task is plain & simple:
How can I load build dimension from such table, using rule file?
Data
ProductParent ProductChild ProductAttribute
Balls Ball_8 Round
I want to load both product dimension and attribute by single rule file (neither of these dimensions exists in database before load), so I do the following:
1) Set dimension build settings, creating dimension Products (marking it P\C generated, sparse), having an attribute dimension AttributeDim
2) Mark the fields as Parent, Child and AttributeDim of dimension Products
After loading rule file a get three types of errors:
a) "Base member (Balls) association level does not match base dimension association level" -- does this mean that I cannot assign attributes in P\C way?
b) "Record #327 - Can not uniquely identify member by Balls (3335)
Balls Ball_8 Round" -- That's strange, I thought member should be identified by Ball_8 (and this column is unique)
c) "\\Record #418 - Error in association transaction [Ball_8] to [Round] (3362)"
I've read all I could find on topic from this forum, network45 board and going to start my way through metalink3, but maybe some kind soul will rescue me from drowning in information ocean?

Hi,
Outline is blank at the start of load and I expect dimensions Product and ProdAttribute to be added.
Generations are unapplicable, since I can't turn this parent-child dimension (it's ragged) into generation one.
And, by the way Integration Services manages to do this somehow, why rule files wouldn't?

I need how to load data from MS Excel(csv format) to NW Excel

Hi,
I am doing Migration project from SAP MS to NW Manually.
I need how to load data from MS excel (csv format) to NW excel .
For example 2008 budget data.
Could you please help me in this.
Thanks and Regards
Krishna

Hi,
You need to create a transformation file and a conversion file if required. First upload the excel (csv) file into BPC using Manage Data and Upload File option.
Create the transformation file (refer to the sap help on how to define a transformation file). You need to specify the mapping correctly and include all your application dimensions and map them to appropriate columns of the flat file.
Before running the import package, do validate the data in the flat file you uploaded into BPC with the transformation file you created.
Thanks,

Incremental load into the Dimension table

Hi,
I have the problem in doing the incremental load of the dimension table.Before loading into the dimension table,i would like to check the data in the dimnesion table.
In my dimension table i have one not null surrogate key and the other null dimension tables.The not null surrogate key, i am populating with the Sequence Generator.
To do the incremental load i have done the following.
I made lookup into the dimension table and looked for a key.The key from the lookup table i have passed to the expression operator.In the expression operator i have created one field and hard coded one flag based on the key from the lookup table.I passed this flag to the filter operator and rest of the fields from the source.
By doing this i am not able to pass the new records to the dimension table.
Can you please help me.
I have another question also.
How do i update one not null key in the fact table.
Thanks
Vinay

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your help to solve my problem.I thought i share more information by giving the sql.
I am giving below the 2 sqls, i would like to achieve through OWB.
Both the following tasks need to be accomplished after loading the fact table.
task1:
UPDATE fact_table c
SET c.dimension_table_key =
(SELECT nvl(dimension_table.dimension_table_key,0)
FROM src_dimension_table t,
dimension_table dimension_table
WHERE c.ssn = t.ssn(+)
AND c.date_src_key = to_number(t.date_src(+), '99999999')
AND c.time_src_key = to_number(substr(t.time_src(+), 1, 4), '99999999')
AND c.wk_src = to_number(concat(t.wk_src_year(+), concat(t.wk_src_month(+), t.wk_src_day(+))), '99999999')
AND nvl(t.field1, 'Y') = nvl(dimension_table.field1, 'Y')
AND nvl(t.field2, 'Y') = nvl(dimension_table.field2, 'Y')
AND nvl(t.field3, 'Y') = nvl(dimension_table.field3, 'Y')
AND nvl(t.field4, 'Y') = nvl(dimension_table.field4, 'Y')
AND nvl(t.field5, 'Y') = nvl(dimension_table.field5, 'Y')
AND nvl(t.field6, 'Y') = nvl(dimension_table.field6, 'Y')
AND nvl(t.field7, 'Y') = nvl(dimension_table.field7, 'Y')
AND nvl(t.field8, 'Y') = nvl(dimension_table.field8, 'Y')
AND nvl(t.field9, 'Y') = nvl(dimension_table.field9, 'Y')
WHERE c.dimension_table_key = 0;
fact table in the above sql is fact_table
dimesion table in the above sql is dimension_table
source table for the dimension table is src_dimension_table
dimension_table_key is a not null key in the fact table
task2:
update fact_table cf
set cf.key_1 =
(select nvl(max(p.key_1),0) from dimension_table p
where p.field1 = cf.field1
and p.source='YY')
where cf.key_1 = 0;
fact table in the above sql is fact_table
dimesion table in the above sql is dimension_table
key_1 is a not null key in the fact table
Is it possible to achieve the above tasks through Oracle Warehouse builder(OWB).I created the mappings for loading the dimension table and fact table and they are working fine.But the above two queries i am not able to achieve through OWB.I would be thankful if you can help me out.
Thanks

How to load transaction data

Hi,
Can anyone share how to load transaction data from BI Cube to BPC Cube. How do i map key figures in BI to BPC in NW version. Pls share any document that explains.
Thanks
Veeru

For example, I've a BI Actual Cube with two key figures quantity and amount. I would like to copy this data to a BPC cube. Since BPC cube has only signed date (one key figure), how do we transform the data from BI cube to BPC. Can we able to achive this using transformation and conversion file in NW. Is SAP providing standard packages that convert KF's in BI cube to BPC dimension members.
Whats the approach you are doing for the scenarios where you are converting multiple key figures into BPC dimensions. I did not find a good document that explains this process.
Thanks for sharing any information.

Load hierarchical attribute dimensions with Integration Services?

Hi everybody,
I need to load product dimension which is organized in a relational table like this:
Product (parent_code, member_code, member_alias, brand, consolidation, formula)
Every product has a brand and I need to load brand as attribute dimension. The thing is Brand is not flat but it has it's own hierarchy. For Brand I have another relational table where data is organized parent-child like this:
Brand (brand_parent_code, brand_child_code, brand_child_alias).
I have used in the past Integration Services but with flat attribute dimensions.
Can I load hierarchical attribute dimensions with Integration Services? If yes, how do I do it, how do I specify the hierarchy?
Thank you,
Daniela

Graham,
This is definitely a supported feature in EIS/9.3.1/ASO. I have many models with this type of structure. How you set it up can vary. Usually my Attribute Hierarchies are not that deep, only two to three levels, maybe four in a rare case, so I don't usually use a parent child table to set up the hierarchy (I'm not saying that it won't work, it might, I haven't tried, but same steps should apply). In a typical model I will have my stock table which has a buyer field. Then in another table I will have my attribute structure which will have columns for buyer, teams, and categories.
In EIS OLAP model, you add your attribute hierarchy table and use a join to link it to the main stock table, joining on the buyer field (you are now going from a "star" schema to a "snowflake". Go into the properties and make sure you define all the columns as "Attributes".
Then in Metadata model, drag your categories attribute onto the outline, then drag the teams and set it as a child of categories and finally drag buyer and set as child of teams. You only set the attribute association for the buyer back to the base dimension.
When you run your dim build it will set up your attribute dimension correctly.
Some things to keep in mind, make sure you have a process that ensures for every stock code you have in the main table, you have a matching one in your attribute dim table.
Sometimes, depending on how much manipulation I need to do, instead of joining the tables in EIS I will go back to relational source and create a view that joins the two tables together, then in my OLAP model, I have one table that has three attribute columns, one column for the buyer and then the other two for team and category, from that point setting up in metadata model is the same.
Good luck, let me know if you run into trouble.
